acpi, memory-hotplug: parse SRAT before memblock is ready
On linux, the pages used by kernel could not be migrated. As a result, if
a memory range is used by kernel, it cannot be hot-removed. So if we want
to hot-remove memory, we should prevent kernel from using it.
The way now used to prevent this is specify a memory range by
movablemem_map boot option and set it as ZONE_MOVABLE.
But when the system is booting, memblock will allocate memory, and reserve
the memory for kernel. And before we parse SRAT, and know the node memory
ranges, memblock is working. And it may allocate memory in ranges to be
set as ZONE_MOVABLE. This memory can be used by kernel, and never be
freed.
So, let's parse SRAT before memblock is called first. And it is early enough.
The first call of memblock_find_in_range_node() is in:
setup_arch()
|-->setup_real_mode()
so, this patch add a function early_parse_srat() to parse SRAT, and call
it before setup_real_mode() is called.
NOTE:
1) Do not clear numa_nodes_parsed in numa_init() because SRAT was
parsed earlier.
2) I don't know why using count of memory affinities parsed from SRAT
as a return value in original acpi_numa_init(). So I add a static
variable srat_mem_cnt to remember this count and use it as the return
value of the new acpi_numa_init()

During the implementation of SRAT support, we met a problem.
In setup_arch(), we have the following call series:
1) memblock is ready;
2) some functions use memblock to allocate memory;
3) parse ACPI tables, such as SRAT.
Before 3), we don't know which memory is hotpluggable, and as a result, we
cannot prevent memblock from allocating hotpluggable memory. So, in 2),
there could be some hotpluggable memory allocated by memblock.
Now, we are trying to parse SRAT earlier, before memblock is ready. But I
think we need more investigation on this topic. So in this v5, I dropped
all the SRAT support, and v5 is just the same as v3, and it is based on
3.8-rc3.
As we planned, we will support getting info from SRAT without users'
participation at last. And we will post another patch-set to do so.
And also, I think for now, we can add this boot option as the first step of
supporting movable node. Since Linux cannot migrate the direct mapped pages,
the only way for now is to limit the whole node containing only movable memory.
Using SRAT is one way. But even if we can use SRAT, users still need an
interface to enable/disable this functionality if they don't want to loose
their NUMA performance. So I think, a user interface is always needed.
For now, users can disable this functionality by not specifying the boot
option. Later, we will post SRAT support, and add another option value
"movablecore_map=acpi" to using SRAT.
This patch:
If system can create movable node which all memory of the node is
allocated as ZONE_MOVABLE, setup_node_data() cannot allocate memory for
the node's pg_data_t. So, use memblock_alloc_try_nid() instead of
memblock_alloc_nid() to retry when the first allocation fails.

Bug fix: Do not split pages when freeing pagetable pages.
The old way we free pagetable pages was wrong.
The old way is:
When we got a hugepage, we split it into smaller pages. And sometimes,
we only need to free some of the smaller pages because the others are
still in use. And the whole larger page will be freed if all the smaller
pages are not in use. All these were done in remove_pmd/pud_table().
But there is no way to know if the larger page has been split. As a result,
there is no way to decide when to split.
Actually, there is no need to split larger pages into smaller ones.
We do it in the following new way:
1) For direct mapped pages, all the pages were freed when they were offlined.
And since menmory offline is done section by section, all the memory ranges
being removed are aligned to PAGE_SIZE. So only need to deal with unaligned
pages when freeing vmemmap pages.
2) For vmemmap pages being used to store page_struct, if part of the larger
page is still in use, just fill the unused part with 0xFD. And when the
whole page is fulfilled with 0xFD, then free the larger page.

cgroup is not provided by this memory device. But when we online memory9,
the memory stored page cgroup may be provided by memory8. So we can't
offline memory8 now. We should offline the memory in the reversed order.
When the memory device is hotremoved, we will auto offline memory provided
by this memory device. But we don't know which memory is onlined first,
so offlining memory may fail. In such case, iterate twice to offline the

and in this case vm_populate() may end up populating the new mapping
instead of the old one.
In order to reduce the possibility of userspace getting surprised by
this behavior, this change introduces the VM_POPULATE vma flag which
gets set on vmas we want vm_populate() to work on. This way
vm_populate() may still end up populating the new mapping after such a
race, but only if the new mapping is also one that the user has

This is implemented as a generalization of the former do_mlock_pages(),
which accomplished the same task but was using during mlock() / mlockall().

We have many vma manipulation functions that are fast in the typical case,
but can optionally be instructed to populate an unbounded number of ptes
within the region they work on:
- mmap with MAP_POPULATE or MAP_LOCKED flags;
- remap_file_pages() with MAP_NONBLOCK not set or when working on a
VM_LOCKED vma;
- mmap_region() and all its wrappers when mlock(MCL_FUTURE) is in effect;
- brk() when mlock(MCL_FUTURE) is in effect.
Current code handles these pte operations locally, while the sourrounding
code has to hold the mmap_sem write side since it's manipulating vmas.
This means we're doing an unbounded amount of pte population work with
mmap_sem held, and this causes problems as Andy Lutomirski reported (we've
hit this at Google as well, though it's not entirely clear why people keep
trying to use mlock(MCL_FUTURE) in the first place).
I propose introducing a new mm_populate() function to do this pte
population work after the mmap_sem has been released. mm_populate() does
need to acquire the mmap_sem read side, but critically, it doesn't need to
hold it continuously for the entire duration of the operation - it can
drop it whenever things take too long (such as when hitting disk for a
file read) and re-acquire it later on.
The following patches are included
- Patches 1 fixes some issues I noticed while working on the existing code.
If needed, they could potentially go in before the rest of the patches.
- Patch 2 introduces the new mm_populate() function and changes
mmap_region() call sites to use it after they drop mmap_sem. This is
inspired from Andy Lutomirski's proposal and is built as an extension
of the work I had previously done for mlock() and mlockall() around
v2.6.38-rc1. I had tried doing something similar at the time but had
given up as there were so many do_mmap() call sites; the recent cleanups
by Linus and Viro are a tremendous help here.
- Patches 3-5 convert some of the less-obvious places doing unbounded
pte populates to the new mm_populate() mechanism.
- Patches 6-7 are code cleanups that are made possible by the
mm_populate() work. In particular, they remove more code than the
entire patch series added, which should be a good thing :)
- Patch 8 is optional to this entire series. It only helps to deal more
nicely with racy userspace programs that might modify their mappings
while we're trying to populate them. It adds a new VM_POPULATE flag
on the mappings we do want to populate, so that if userspace replaces
them with mappings it doesn't want populated, mm_populate() won't
populate those replacement mappings.
This patch:
Assorted small fixes. The first two are quite small:
- Move check for vma->vm_private_data && !(vma->vm_flags & VM_NONLINEAR)
within existing if (!(vma->vm_flags & VM_NONLINEAR)) block.
Purely cosmetic.
- In the VM_LOCKED case, when dropping PG_Mlocked for the over-mapped
range, make sure we own the mmap_sem write lock around the
munlock_vma_pages_range call as this manipulates the vma's vm_flags.
Last fix requires a longer explanation. remap_file_pages() can do its work
either through VM_NONLINEAR manipulation or by creating extra vmas.
These two cases were inconsistent with each other (and ultimately, both wrong)
as to exactly when did they fault in the newly mapped file pages:
- In the VM_NONLINEAR case, new file pages would be populated if
the MAP_NONBLOCK flag wasn't passed. If MAP_NONBLOCK was passed,
new file pages wouldn't be populated even if the vma is already
marked as VM_LOCKED.
- In the linear (emulated) case, the work is passed to the mmap_region()
function which would populate the pages if the vma is marked as
VM_LOCKED, and would not otherwise - regardless of the value of the
MAP_NONBLOCK flag, because MAP_POPULATE wasn't being passed to
mmap_region().
The desired behavior is that we want the pages to be populated and locked
if the vma is marked as VM_LOCKED, or to be populated if the MAP_NONBLOCK
flag is not passed to remap_file_pages().

mm: fix BUG on madvise early failure
Commit "mm: make madvise(MADV_WILLNEED) support swap file prefetch" has
allowed a situation where blk_finish_plug() would be called without
blk_start_plug() being called before that, which would lead to a BUG:

Make madvise(MADV_WILLNEED) support swap file prefetch. If memory is
swapout, this syscall can do swapin prefetch. It has no impact if the
memory isn't swapout.

memcg,vmscan: do not break out targeted reclaim without reclaimed pages
Targeted (hard resp. soft) reclaim has traditionally tried to scan one
group with decreasing priority until nr_to_reclaim (SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX
pages) is reclaimed or all priorities are exhausted. The reclaim is then
retried until the limit is met.
This approach, however, doesn't work well with deeper hierarchies where
groups higher in the hierarchy do not have any or only very few pages
(this usually happens if those groups do not have any tasks and they have
only re-parented pages after some of their children is removed). Those
groups are reclaimed with decreasing priority pointlessly as there is
nothing to reclaim from them.
An easiest fix is to break out of the memcg iteration loop in shrink_zone
only if the whole hierarchy has been visited or sufficient pages have been
reclaimed. This is also more natural because the reclaimer expects that
the hierarchy under the given root is reclaimed. As a result we can
simplify the soft limit reclaim which does its own iteration.

mm/huge_memory.c: use new hashtable implementation
Switch hugemem to use the new hashtable implementation. This reduces the
amount of generic unrelated code in the hugemem.
This also removes the dymanic allocation of the hash table. The upside is
that we save a pointer dereference when accessing the hashtable, but we
lose 8KB if CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE is enabled but the processor
doesn't support hugepages.

mm: compaction: do not accidentally skip pageblocks in the migrate scanner
Compaction uses the ALIGN macro incorrectly with the migrate scanner by
adding pageblock_nr_pages to a PFN. It happened to work when initially
implemented as the starting PFN was also aligned but with caching restarts
and isolating in smaller chunks this is no longer always true.
The impact is that the migrate scanner scans outside its current
pageblock. As pfn_valid() is still checked properly it does not cause any
failure and the impact of the bug is that in some cases it will scan more
than necessary when it crosses a page boundary but by no more than
COMPACT_CLUSTER_MAX. It is highly unlikely this is even measurable but
it's still wrong so this patch addresses the problem.

mm: reduce rmap overhead for ex-KSM page copies created on swap faults
When ex-KSM pages are faulted from swap cache, the fault handler is not
capable of re-establishing anon_vma-spanning KSM pages. In this case, a
copy of the page is created instead, just like during a COW break.
These freshly made copies are known to be exclusive to the faulting VMA
and there is no reason to go look for this page in parent and sibling
processes during rmap operations.
Use page_add_new_anon_rmap() for these copies. This also puts them on the
proper LRU lists and marks them SwapBacked, so we can get rid of doing
this ad-hoc in the KSM copy code.

mm: vmscan: compaction works against zones, not lruvecs
The restart logic for when reclaim operates back to back with compaction
is currently applied on the lruvec level. But this does not make sense,
because the container of interest for compaction is a zone as a whole, not
the zone pages that are part of a certain memory cgroup.
Negative impact is bounded. For one, the code checks that the lruvec has
enough reclaim candidates, so it does not risk getting stuck on a
condition that can not be fulfilled. And the unfairness of hammering on
one particular memory cgroup to make progress in a zone will be amortized
by the round robin manner in which reclaim goes through the memory
cgroups. Still, this can lead to unnecessary allocation latencies when
the code elects to restart on a hard to reclaim or small group when there
are other, more reclaimable groups in the zone.
Move this logic to the zone level and restart reclaim for all memory
cgroups in a zone when compaction requires more free pages from it.

Exceptional cases that want to force-scan anon or file pages configure the
